Sec.  156.68  First aid statement.



    (a) Product as sold and distributed. Each product must bear a first 

aid statement if the product has systemic effects in Category I, II, or 

III, or skin or eye irritation effects in Category I or II.

    (b) Product as diluted for use. If the product labeling bears 

directions for dilution with water prior to use, the label may also 

include a statement describing how the first aid measures may be 

modified for the diluted product. Such a statement must reflect the 

Toxicity Category(ies) of the diluted product, based upon data for the 

route of exposure (or calculations if appropriate). If the labeling 

provides for a range of use dilutions, only that use dilution 

representing the highest concentration allowed by labeling may be used 

as the basis for a statement pertaining to the diluted product. The 

statement for a diluted product may not substitute for the statement for 

the concentrate, but augments the information provided for the 

concentrate.

    (c) Heading. The heading of the statement may be ``First Aid'' or 

``Statement of Practical Treatment.''

    (d) Location of first aid statement. The first aid statement must 

appear on the front panel of the label of all products assigned to 

Toxicity Category I by any route of exposure. Upon review, the Agency 

may permit reasonable variations in the placement of the first aid 

statement if a reference such as ``See first aid statement on back 

panel'' appears on the front panel. The first aid statement for products 

assigned to Toxicity Categories II or III may appear on any panel of the 

label.
